Regional Sales Manager - Plains & South Territory (United States)

Regional Sales Manager – Plains & South Territory (AR, CO, KS, LA, MO, NE, NM, OK, TX)

Flexible Packaging Machinery | $120K–$150K Base + Uncapped Commission + Auto Allowance

Our client is a global leader in flexible packaging machinery, supplying horizontal and vertical form-fill-seal systems and end-of-line automation to food, beverage, and CPG manufacturers worldwide. As part of a growing North American footprint, they're now hiring a Regional Sales Manager to own and grow the Plains & South territory.

This isn't a typical account-management seat. You'll be driving new business across a nine-state territory, building relationships from the ground up with plant-level decision makers and OEM partners, and closing capital equipment deals that regularly exceed $500K.

What the role involves:

• Owning the full sales cycle for capital equipment across Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas
• Identifying and developing new accounts as much as growing existing ones – this is a hunter's territory
• Negotiating and closing contracts on complex, technical capital equipment
• Building a network with OEM and integration partners to become a recognized name in the region
• Representing the business at trade shows and industry events, including some travel outside normal hours

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of progressive packaging equipment sales experience, ideally with deal sizes exceeding $500K
• Comfortable discussing technical equipment and systems credibly, without needing to be an engineer
• A proven track record of forecasting, pipeline discipline, and closing long sales cycles
• Based in or willing to be based within the territory

What's on offer:

• Base salary of $120,000–$150,000, depending on experience
• Uncapped commission structure – the more you sell, the higher your rate climbs
• Auto allowance plus reasonable maintenance and repair reimbursement
• Full US benefits package (medical, dental, vision, life/AD&D, STD/LTD)
• The backing of a genuinely global manufacturer with a growing North American presence
